Guy Warren Ballard (July 28, 1878 – December 29, 1939) was an American mining engineer who, with his wife Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard, founded the "I AM" Activity.

Living at the base of the California volcano Mount Shasta in 1930, Ballard frequently hiked on the mountain, where he reported the following to have occurred:

"It came time for lunch, and I sought a mountain spring for clear, cold water. Cup in hand, I bent down to fill it, when an electrical current passed through my body from head to foot. I

looked around, and directly behind me stood a young man who, at first glance, seemed to be someone on a hike like myself. I looked more closely and realized immediately that he was no ordinary person. As this thought passed through my mind, he smiled and addressed me saying:"My Brother, if you will hand me your cup, I will give you a much more refreshing drink than spring water." I obeyed, and instantly the cup was filled with a creamy liquid. Handing it back to me, he said: "Drink it."

The young man later identified himself as the COUNT OF ST. GERMAN. Ballard included details of his encounters with St. Germain and other ASCENDED MASTERS in the books Unveiled Mysteries and The Magic Presence, using the pen name Godfré Ray King.

Ballard, his wife Edna, and their son Edona Eros "Donald" Ballard (1918-1973) claimed to be the sole "accredited messengers" of Saint Germain. Their teachings constitute the original nucleus the "Ascended Master Teachings" and are still used in "I AM" Sanctuaries all over the world. The "I AM" Activity started from public lectures about these encounters and grew rapidly in the 1930s. Ballard lectured frequentl

about Saint Germain's mystical teachings, in which America was destined to play a key role. By 1938, there were claimed to be about a million followers in the United States. In 1942 they began the I AM Sanctuary at a Presbyterian missionary school. The "I AM" Activity describes itself as an apolitical, spiritual and educational organization financed by contributions from its members. Its parent organization is Saint Germain Foundation, with headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Essential to the I AM teachings are the Music of the Spheres, which are reputed to contain exquisite, beautiful melody; constructive wonderful rhythm and transcendent harmony, producing ease and ecstasy in the feelings, always strengthening the mind and body of the listener..
